HIROMI YOSHIDA, one of Bloomington's finest and most outspoken poets, is a finalist for the 2019 New Women's Voices Chapbook Competition for Icarus Burning. Her poems have been nominated for inclusion in the Sundress Best of the Net Anthology; selected for inclusion in the INverse Poetry Archive; and published in The Asian American Literary Review, Discover Nikkei, Gidra, Evergreen Review, and The Rain, Party, & Disaster Society. Hiromi repurposes Met Store catalogs, illuminated manuscript wall calendars, and Vanity Fair magazine issues, to create collage works with titles such as Exhibit A, Ménage-a-Trois, Jouissance, and The World after the Fall of Icarus. She also uses chopsticks to make scrambled eggs, and forks to eat cup ramen noodles at midnight. See less
